Shinobies of Equestria
Chapter 3: One Special Kid
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJetetsu was staring in disbelief at the scene that was placed before his eyes. He couldn't believe that Sensei Senjee was able to knock out Asuna while he was chained down! The only way he thought he could've done it was if he grabbed a knock out gas bomb, and set it off by dropping it. All while holding his breath. But Jetetsu never saw him grab it from his bag! He must've done it without him noticing, impressive!
"Rioku! Hurry up and touch him with your hands now!"
Rioku wasn't able to do so. He had wasted too much chakra on Senjee that he fainted from over exhaustion after he signaled Jetetsu to begin his jutsu! Jetetsu was at a very difficult situation right now, he had Senjee in the palm of his hands! He only needed one of his comrades to place both his hands on him!
"What do I do?! Genjutsu? No, that'll never work! You don't know any genjutsu! Well I could do it myself, but then I'd have to let the jutsu subside! Dammit! What the hell am I supposed to do!?" He thought.
Senjee exclaimed, "So what are you gonna do Jetetsu?! Your in such a critical situation right now, I don't think you'll be able to pull this one off!" Senjee then laughed.
Jetetsu hated to admit it, but he was right. He couldn't do anything at the moment without letting go of his jutsu!
"Damn this earth pony to oblivion!" He thought.
Suddenly, he was attacked by another pony from behind! Jetetsu easily avoided the attack but let go of the jutsu out of instinct! He looked to see that the culprit was.... Senjee!?
"What in the name of Celestia!?" Jetetsu saw another copy of Senjee standing at a distance. He knew what Senjee had done.
"That's a shadow clone, isn't it Senjee?"
Senjee stood up straight and smiled saying, "You guessed it Jetetsu, points for you." He then dispersed his clone.
"So you had a clone watching over me this whole time huh?"
"I wanted to see what you were going to do, it WAS a pretty bad spot you were put in." Senjee then took a stance.
Jetetsu also took a battle posture; he took his right hand and made a grip on the Kusanagi blade's handle on his back. He took hold of the defined 8 inch, blood red handle, and pulled out a 40 inch sword blade that looked as if it could slice right through a mountain of steel! He let his arm relax and let the blade fall and point to the ground as he held it next to him. Jetetsu's brow was dripping with a hint of sweat that glistened in the sunlight. It was past noon, Jetetsu still had all day to pass this Celestia forsaken test!
Senjee had a serious look on his face, "So he actually decides to use it, finally. It's about time, now I can see how far he's gotten with it." Senjee thought.
Senjee spoke up, "Your still lugging around that 48 inch stick huh?"
Jetetsu retorted wittily, "and who was it that gave me this 'stick', huh Senjee?"
"Touché Jetetsu"
"I hope your ready to taste defeat Sensei! Because my blade tolerates nothing below victory!"
"Careful what you say Jetetsu, you might just have to swallow those very words."
"That wont happen! And if it does, then I guess I'll have to chew slowly!"
Jetetsu charged towards Senjee with the blade trailing behind him! He swung his sword, aiming for Senjee's head, only to come into contact with his kunai! Senjee was holding back his sword with his kunai. Jetetsu was using all his might to push back Senjee. Senjee then finally fell backwards and back-flipped out of the way. Just in time to avoid Jetetsu's second swing! Senjee now had a ripped jacket.
"Look at that, you've gone and tore through my jacket. I liked that jacket." He took off the remaining pieces of the jacket and threw them aside.
"Seems like my blade didn't." Jetetsu reached into his supply bag and pulled out a smoke bomb, which he then threw to the ground.
A huge smokescreen appeared! It was hardly possible to see three feet in front of you! However, even with all the smoke, the two ninja just kept clashing back and forth! Sounds of metal clanking against each other every three seconds. The smokescreen then started to disappear after what seemed like an eternity for it to do so. When the cover dispersed, the two ninja were revealed to each other.
Breathing heavily was Jetetsu Takahashi, who was getting worn out by the fight. Senjee on the other hand, was as calm as the sea breeze itself! He was perfectly fine, even after all that Jetetsu gave him!
Jetetsu flustered, "What!? How is he still able to keep posture? He's not even breathing hard! How am I going to defeat him if I cant even manage to make him the least bit tired!? Shit!"
Jetetsu's head was painted with streaks of blood running down his forehead. He must've head butted him at least twice in the smoke! Yet Jetetsu was the only one feeling the effects, and he's the one that gave the head butt!
Jetetsu then smiled, "Well Senjee. It seems I am no match for you. I am not surprised in the least, you ARE among the finest ninja the village hidden in the sun has to offer. It wouldn't make sense if I, a mere child, defeated someone like you out of nowhere, would it now?"
Senjee replied, "No it wouldn't. So you give up then?"
"Oh Senjee, if you knew me at all, you would know that one thing's for sure." Jetetsu then wiped his head clean of the blood.
Jetetsu then looked up with a new look on his face! Determination in his eyes!
He then shouted, "It's that I never give up! I'll go down fighting if I have too!"
Jetetsu then threw his sword into the air and formed a hand sign as it spun in the air.
"Fire style! Hellsword Downpour!" Jetetsu shouted.
The sword that was spinning in the air then stopped with the blade pointed downwards and started to multiply! The blade of all the swords then combusted into a blue flame! Soon there were at least 100 swords in the sky covered with blue fire! And they're all pointed at one pony, Senjee.
However, Senjee recognized the jutsu and immediately turned serious.
"Jetetsu! That jutsu is part of the sacred scroll of Ponyville! How in Celestia's forsaken name were you able to get into the shrine to read it!!"
"Oh I've going in there for a while now Senjee! I always manage to read it at night, when I have more cover to my advantage." He chuckled. "I write the jutsus down in a notebook and practice them in secret when I get home. And this is only one of the jutsus I was able to learn from my notebook! I mean, they're all so hard to do!" He then laughed.
"How could you just sneak into the shrine and write down Ponyville's most powerful and most sacred jutsu?! If an enemy got their hands on your notebook, you'd be held accountable for it!"
"With a pencil and paper. And besides Senjee, after I learn the jutsus I shred the papers, no need to worry! In order to be the best, I have to know a lot of powerful jutsu! Now witness my holy downpour!"
The fireswords then started to chase after Senjee. At first it was little by little due to Jetetsu's motioning. Then he motioned for all the swords to begin a complete assault charge onto Senjee! Senjee had only taken out about 15 swords the first time! Now he has to deal with a strong 85 more! He used all his speed to dodge the incoming missile barrage of swords! Every sword he evaded, he had another waiting for him as he dodged! The amount of effort and speed Senjee was using to evade the multiple attacks showed just how much skill he had in his arsenal. Senjee, however, was finally sliced by one of the swords! He fell back into hiding after dropping a smoke bomb. Jetetsu cancelled the jutsu.
Jetetsu knew where he was, it was pretty obvious since he could see the blood stains. Jetetsu then picked up his sword from the ground and ran to the bush he was hiding in. He sliced right through it! Only he didn't find Senjee there!
"What the-!!"
The ground collapsed under Jetetsu's hooves! He was caught off guard! He managed to make it out of the debris that fell on top of him. However, when he stood, mud started to grab at his hooves and turn into concrete! Jetetsu was immobilized from the hooves, he couldn't move! Senjee then appeared from above the crater and lectured Jetetsu.
"What a shame! I know your not the brightest crayon in the box, but you always fall for easy stuff like this when you THINK your winning. You should know better Jetetsu!"
Jetetsu tried to use a hand sign, but the mud then grabbed and trapped his hands in concrete! Jetetsu tried to break free, but it was for nothing! He was angry at his situation, even though Senjee was right. Even though he did fall for this stupid trap on his own impulse!
Senjee then looked at the sun.
"Well, well, it seems as if your team has only a few more hours left to go. It's getting dark out Jetetsu. You had better have a plan to touch me if you ever want to be a ninja."
Jetetsu couldn't move! The concrete wasn't going to give up at all! He couldn't perform a hand sign, his sword was lying on the ground next to him, and his friends were still out of it! What is he going to do?
Jetetsu then looked up at Senjee and smiled.
"Senjee?"
"Yes, Jetetsu." Senjee looked back at him.
"Your one special earth pony, you know that?"
"I do indeed." Senjee said.
Senjee then felt a surge of chakra! He jumped off to the side, just in time to avoid a stream of fire that rushed in behind him!
Senjee turned, "So your finally awake now, sleep well?"
A figure was standing in the shadow of a tree.
"Stop letting Jetetsu have all the fun, Senjee. It's embarrassing how much fight he gives you, yet your guard never lets up." He emerged from the shadows.
It was Rioku! The boy with the attitude had come to take over for Jetetsu!
"If it's all the same to you, I'm going to end this now!"
Rioku made a hand sign, "Fire style! Fireball jutsu!"
